Followed the recipe as written, except my "dash" of spices was actually 1/4 tsp of each, and I used half-and-half to slim down the fat just a bit. O.M.G. What a great tasting soup this is! I loved the combination of spices. I had planned to freeze individual serving sizes for eating throughout the winter, but I'm not sure any of it's going to actually make it into the freezer! :-) Thanks "stackhawkley" for a great recipe.

Very good soup. Although I cooked mine on the stove opposed to microwaving. There were a few things I did different only because I did not have the item called for. I added 2 tablespoons of butter, and I used half a cup of condensed milk instead of half and half. Substituted chicken broth for vegetable broth. I also felt I needed to add extra spices for a little more flavor. All around a good soup.
